Having problems with your PC Desktops ?

I have just built a new custom PC and my new XFX GTS 250 will not work with my Vista Ultimate 64 bit OS but it will work on my Dad's Dell XPS with Vista Ultimate 32 bit! Also his Nvidia 8800 GTX will work on my 64 bit PC! Any idea why or what I can do?

Answers :
